I have references. I have not yet used Rover as a payment method. I have a family that uses me about once a year to watch their house and dogs. I have another family that uses me periodically to watch their dogs as well. I am careful and reliable with their fur babies. I am confident and trustworthy. I have a dog that I absolutely love. His name is Bambi, he is a giant breed Italian mastiff. My parents have 2 Yorkshire terriers that live with us as well. We take great care of our dogs. Bambi loves to play as he is only a year old. All of our dogs are well behaved and loved! If I am sitting dogs at your house during the week I am gone from 730-4pm. I work those hours. If it is important to have a break in the middle of the day I can get out for a lunch as long as we are in Madison. If they are staying at my house, while I am at work during the day I have a large crate that will fit either 2 small/medium dogs or one extra big dog.
